Hello Mark,

I'm writing to you about a job opening at Paragon Machine Works in Richmond.  The position is for a Shop Assistant, job description attached.  It's a full-time job that requires a driver's license, some lifting, forklift operation, reasonably good math skills, and an ability to respond well to changing work conditions.  It is an entry level position that we will train for and could eventually lead to a Machine Operator position (no guarantee).  Starting wage is generally $16-18/hr and is dependent on experience.  Health, dental and retirement benefits are available after a 2 month probationary period.

I would appreciate you sharing this information with your students and anyone else that you think would be interested.  I will let you know if I get any responses if you choose to post the position.

I'm leaving for a long weekend Friday morning and will be back next Wednesday.

Thank you for your consideration,

Donna
